Como instalar para-lamas estendidos no Polaris RZR

Quick Answer

Installing extended mud flaps on a Polaris RZR takes about an hour with basic tools. The key is aligning the brackets to the factory mounting points and tightening all bolts evenly to prevent cracking.

Installation Steps

1. 1. Remove the Stock Flares (If Present): Use a Torx bit to remove the screws holding the factory fender flares. Keep the screws for reuse. If there are no stock flares, skip to step 2. Common mistake: stripping Torx screws. Apply penetrating oil if they resist, and use a manual driver for stubborn screws.
2. 2. Test-Fit the Bracket and Flap: Hold the bracket against the fender mounting holes. The bracket should align with two or three factory bolt holes. Mark any holes that need drilling with a pencil. Checkpoint: If holes don't align, the bracket may be for a different model. Do not force it.
3. 3. Drill Pilot Holes (If Required): For brackets that require drilling, use a 1/8-inch bit to create pilot holes. Then enlarge with a 5/16-inch bit. Deburr the edges with a file. Common mistake: drilling too large a hole first. Always start small and enlarge gradually to prevent cracking the plastic.
4. 4. Attach the Bracket to the Vehicle: Use the supplied bolts and washers to secure the bracket. Tighten evenly with a 10mm socket. Do not overtighten—torque to about 8 ft-lb. Checkpoint: The bracket should sit flush against the fender. Gaps indicate misalignment.
5. 5. Mount the Mud Flap to the Bracket: Slide the flap into the bracket channel and secure with the provided screws. Ensure the flap is level and not twisted. Common mistake: over-tightening the flap screws, which can crack the polypropylene. Hand-tighten plus a quarter turn is enough.
6. 6. Repeat on All Four Corners: For a 4-piece kit like the 8.5-inch set for the RZR XP 4, repeat steps 1-5 on each corner. For a 2-piece front set, install only the front flaps. Checkpoint: After installation, turn the steering full lock and check for rubbing against the tire or suspension.
7. 7. Final Check and Road Test: Tighten all bolts to the recommended torque. Take a slow test drive on a clean surface and inspect for any movement or noise. Common mistake: skipping the test drive. A loose flap can catch on a rock or branch and tear off.
